Beschreibung:
This book documents the Fleming Museum of Art's spring 2015 exhibition, 'Staring back: The creation and legacy of Picasso's 'Demoiselles d'Avignon''. It includes a fictional piece that explores the newly revealed connections between 'Les Demoiselles' and a genre of colonial African photographic "erotica" marketed in Paris in the early twentieth century; an essay on the life of the painting from its creation until its purchase by the Museum of Modern Art; and an essay on the audio, video, and other advanced technologies used in the exhibition to reintroduce the ambitious, then twenty-five-year-old Picasso to the public
